Detail shot on the front end of that lovely little Mini pick-up.

Yes, another Mini, but this one's slightly different being a pick-up version. Would have loved to get a cleaner shot of this,but in the end I had to make do with this one.

Following the Volkswagen Group's acquisition of Audi in 1964, Volkswagen used new engineering expertise to develop a modern front-wheel drive car with a water-cooled engine, and thus the Passat and Golf (the latter being introduced in 1974) were the first of a new generation of Volkswagen cars. The original Volkswagen Passat, launched in 1973 and produced until 1981, shared a modern fastback design, styled by the infamous Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro. This rather sorry looking 5-door version was, if you saw my comment earlier, I think a barn find of sorts. It certainly has that look about it and it was ripe for restoration/modification.

Close up shot of the front of that gorgeous Alfasud from earlier.

The Alfa Romeo Alfasud was considered one of the company's most successful models and this was as good a looking example as you're probably ever going to find!

This has got to be the cleanest Clubman around ... unless anyone out there knows different?

Never used to be that keen on the MG, but I am coming around to the 'hard-topped' MGB GT model. This one was exceptionally clean too!

In August 1974, Volvo presented a new generation of cars called the 240 and 260 Series. These new models had been developed from the 140 series and were very similar to their predecessors. Volvo's 240 model almost became a classic in its own lifetime as it was produced for nearly 20 years. On two occasions, the car was given a facelift, for the 1981 and 1986 model years. In all, more than 2.8 million cars in the 240/260 series were built. Find out more about Volvo over the years by clicking the link below: www.volvoclub.org.uk
